Ok, so apparently a woman this time. 4 wounded from what I’ve read.

I haven’t posted anything about this in here (I don’t think), but I’ve noticed a disturbing trend amongst some liberals who have decided to shrug off the gun control issue and make mass shootings about gender. Michael Ian Black is an example and a number of liberal rags online have claimed that mass shootings are actually just the fault of “toxic masculinity” and other made-up gender problems. It’s dangerous because the right-wing is already trying to ignore the real issue, which is that guns are too easily available for anyone who wants one, and we can’t afford to have the left start bullshitting the issue too. When it comes to gun violence there are only two issues that need to be addressed. Issue number one: gun control. Issue number two: mental health. And those issues are in order of importance. Gun control is the main issue, and mental health is second. Anything else is just a horrible distraction from reality. Gun violence isn’t a result of toxic masculinity, or prayer being removed from schools, or government false-flags, or any kind of other conspiratorial nonsense. Anyone who distracts from gun control in this debate is completely unhelpful and is at least partially at fault for prolonging America’s gun violence problem.
